As far as I know, the creditor need to provide you with complete details of the outstanding debts as a proper debt validation else I don't think that they will be able to bring judgment against you. However, you should file an answer to the summon in order to avoid default judgment which the creditor may bring against you.
case management
I answered the summons, and the court informed me that I have a case management meeting scheduled for June 12th. As far as I can tell, that's when both parties present their side of the case, at which point a settlement can be reached. If no settlement is agreed upon, the court can then decide to set a trial, or arrange a pre-trial meeting. I just find it odd that the CA is suing, even though I have proof (two certified mail receipts) that I requested validation, which they did not provide. I indicated that in my answer to the court. I also sent a copy of my answer, via certified mail (I have the signed receipt) to the CA/attorney. Are they saving their evidence for the court, or were they hoping I didn't answer the summons, allowing them to get a default judgement? I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
